Introduction
Towneley was the home of the Towneley family for over 500 years but in 1901 it was sold to Burnley Corporation. The family departed in March 1902 leaving behind a building almost completely empty except for a couple of tables and a few pictures in the chapel. The park was opened to the public in June 1902 and in May 1903 the Great Hall and the south wing of the house were opened for a temporary art exhibition.
Today, the Museum houses a variety of displays encompassing; Natural History, Egyptology, Local History, Textiles, Decorative Art and Regional Furniture.
You are able to explore the period rooms, art gallery and learn more about Burnley's history whilst a Mouse Trail through the Museum keeps children entertained.
Towneley Hall is a grade one listed historic house set in over 24 acres of parkland and formal gardens. The fine period rooms are available for civil weddings and corporate events. In addition to the regency rooms the flat lawned area to the rear of the hall can accommodate marquees for up to 400 guests.
Whether you are planning a wedding for 7 or 70 we can meet all your needs, and our dedicated staff will ensure that things run smoothly, giving you a day to remember.
